Nanotech Fabric: The Fabric of the Future
Nanotechnology offers the potential to create hydrophobic materials, which repel
water, by emulating the nano-scale structures found in nature. Inspired by the
hydrophobic characteristics of many plant leaves, this application mirrors the
dewy morning spectacle where water droplets on these leaves form spherical
shapes rather than being absorbed. Termed the “lotus effect,” this phenomenon is
FABRIC particularly pronounced in the leaves of the lotus plant, showcasing the capability of
nanotechnology to mimic and enhance natural water-repelling properties.
